Ready to unleash your inner Bronco and dominate the gridiron of trivia? Brace yourself for a stampede of gridiron knowledge:
NFL Brain Trust: Dig deep into Broncos stats, records, and those unforgettable moments etched in Denver lore. Did you know that in 1978, two fans snuck onto the field during a game and planted a carrot patch in one of the end zones, leading to the nickname "Mile High Lettuces"?
Bronco Brontotheriuses: Unravel the stories of the icons who shaped the Broncos' legacy. Hear John Elway's "Come back here!" to Mike Shanahan on the sideline before "The Drive," witness Steve Atwater's bone-crushing hits that redefined safety play, or relive Peyton Manning's surgical precision that carved up defenses.
Beyond the Blue and Orange: Go beyond the field with questions about iconic rivalries like the Broncos-Raiders grudge match, the evolution of "Thunderstruck" from a rock anthem to a stadium chant, and the passionate Denver community that bleeds orange and blue.
From Mile High Stadium to Empower Field: Relive the highs and lows, the Super Bowl victories like the 1998 triumph over the Packers and the heart-wrenching "Tebow Time" finale, all the way to the young gunslingers of today rewriting the Broncos' story.
But beware, this ain't no Larimer Square stroll! Prepare to be challenged by these Bronco behemoths:
- Who holds the Broncos' record for most career rushing yards?
- What was the team's original nickname before becoming the Broncos?
- Which player famously recovered a blocked field goal and ran it back for the winning touchdown in the 1987 AFC Championship game, known as "The Drive"?
- Who won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award twice as a member of the Broncos and is known for his "No Fly Zone" dominance?
